From the back cover: There is nothing abstruse about the titular question and nothing sophisticated about the answer. This is an album of melody. Melody is a constant on both sides of the disc. What you are playing is a melodic session made up of individual melodies that come to you in their original orchestrations. You may wish to be a bit more precise about it all and say that there is a pervading melodiousness; but, as one friend might remark to another, this is a melody operation. – Robert A. Simon
